Xbox Next Specs Revealed

Post by The Kernel »

Mercury News

Take this with a grain of salt until E3, but the Mercury News has broken a story on the specs of the next-gen Xbox, due to be launched in late-2005. Here is the breakdown:

- 3x 65 nanometer IBM PPC CPU's (this could of course be a three core system instead of three discrete chips). Figure about 2GHz a piece.

- R500+ ATI graphics card with integrated DRAM

- 256MB UMA memory (possible 512MB)

- Integrated flash memory, but no hard drive

Interesting to see a lack of a hard drive, but I imagine that is still up in the air at this point. We'll see.

EDIT: Team Xbox has some additional details and comments. Good stuff.

Well this is neat. Halo 3 is practically inevitable now.

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"
